REALLY?! So you guys build over 1 car per week? Just wondering how? I've been to Sam's setup at GTM, he has a huge facility with 12 lifts, a dyno, about 30+ cars in there at all times, and he doesn't build 60 cars per year, I'm sure of it... what's your secret?

impressive

Though this is in the FI section this kit has the potential to open a lot of doors for guys that wanna stay NA. $8900 is a DAMN good price for what seems to be stellar worksmanship. Just on this stroker platform alone you're looking at close to 350 HP and coupled with say an 11.5:1 comp, can push you up to 360. Set-up some nice heads, cams and tuning, there should be no reason why some NA's won't be able to hit the 400 mark.

Awesome GTM...

Well, if Michael does NOT respond to this then we know he truely respects other's(GTM) thread

If you guys support Sam(GTM) at all then stop arguing w/ VRT and give him the opportunities to bring this thread OT

So... lets hear more about the kit
Awesome job, Sam, wish I had the cash

Although the stroker kit can be purchased as a parts kit, after speaking with Sam, it makes more sense for GTM to physically install and most importantly...test...each block before it leaves to our shop. When you figure in the typical installation and testing charge if this was done at our shop, it makes much more sense to have Sam's seasoned machinists peform these tasks at their facility. We'll mount the GTM stroker block, to the heads, and assemble the rest of the engine at our facility.. Can't wait!

Is there a long block option? If so...what is done to the head and how much will it cost?

I am so glad that I have delayed getting my G35

A longblock basically means that we include the heads. The stroker kit only entails the bottom end. So you could mate it to any heads that you desire. We use the GTM Stage III heads on most of our buildups, and Stage IV heads are also available with even larger valves, and more aggressive porting work. Stage III heads are $4000 and Stage IV heads are $5600

This sounds like a sweet set-up. I would love to have a NA monster which would be a good option here in Cali, would be much easier to appear CARB compliant without Turbo's.

Hey Sharif, what kind of power do you think this could make with heads, cams, tune, the works? +300whp?

With built engines and stock bores, we've gotten 267whp on our dyno, which puts it pretty darn close to 300whp on the dynojet. 300whp should be a snap with a 4.24L stroker kit.

my guess is if you got this stroker kit, and every major NA part, you might hit 340-350whp on a dynojet. If you went with the most extreme engine setup with high compression, heads, ferrea valvetrain and aggressive cams etc, maybe 360-370whp

Any chance on getting a discount if we get the stroker and your gear set
